Boundaries

The constituency covers Hove and Portslade in the city of Brighton and Hove. The constituency was coterminous with the former Borough of Hove from 1974 to 1997.

History

It was not until the 1950 general election, when major boundary changes occurred in Brighton, that Hove acquired a parliamentary seat of its own, having previously been in the former two-seat constituency of Brighton. Hove was a safe Conservative seat until the 1997 general election, when Labour's landslide victory and success on the East Sussex coast (Brighton Kemptown, Brighton Pavilion, Hastings and Rye) took Hove into the Labour camp.

Labour has since retained the seat with narrow majorities. The 2005 election saw a surge in the third place Liberal Democrat vote, and Labour MP Celia Barlow won the seat in 2005 over the Conservative candidate with a plurality of 420.
